geez.. I dont know how to break this to you... NO. When I am doing a wedding cake I am stressed for about three days before the wedding. My highest point of stress is delivery. Not that my cakes are unsturdy..but that my husband will trip while carrying them.

I always stress. Because too many things have happened thru the years.Never know when it will happen again. It gets better, at least I know how to fix mistakes now, but am so thrilled when nothing goes wrong, which doesn't happen too often.

I suffer a stress disorder and thought, in my ignorance, that cake decorating would be fun and not much stress....... what a dodo I was.

But being a masochist I still do the cakes... I stress at the getting the ideas together, I stress at baking process, I stress at the decoration process and I stress at the delivery. So the only time I am not stressed is when I see the customer's face and have walked away being paid..... Hope that helps!

every time I take a cake order I get an excited nervous feeling-because I never know what particular challenges may lie ahead. I have to say though-it has gotten a lot less stressful the more cakes I've done. Now my process feels more like a well oiled machine. I've tried to enjoy every stage of the cake decorating adventure though-because once you have everything figured out you miss the challenges

Guess I am weird - I find making, icing and decorating cakes a stress reliever for me. My biggest stress is getting a wedding cake finished and delivered on time. Fortunately, it is only a hobby for me.

The baking and icing and smoothing relaxes me. It's the hours and days before actually executing the cake that stress me out. I try to go to sleep at night and my mind just races with ideas about things I need to do or try to complete the cake. I can't turn my brain off!

When I was beginning decorating and completed cakes, I completed them until I thought they were "good enough". Now, I don't quit until I KNOW they are good enough. That takes much of the stress away ~ delivering a cake that I know is good.

Though I do get a bit stressed on delivery day...but, that all goes away when the cake is sitting safely in it's venue.

I was just thinking about this the last wedding cake I did -- I'm at the point where I'm more comfortable with my skills and enjoying it more, but I also push myself to a higher level with every cake and if I really like the client then I tend to get nervous. Funny, huh?
